tested game stream from nvidia servers -
acceptable but my stupid orichi BT mouse lags like hell lol
tested nextflix -
Sense 8 ultra 4k plays beautifully without any lag
tested game stream from PC
it works even for non steam games problem again its with the mouse.

Question : can I add a wireless dongle on the shield so that I can use wireless mouse and kb?

tested streaming movies from my NAS via KODI
absolutely no problem at all :D

If anyone is having problems with GameStream, such as dropouts, disconnecting, juttery stream, and worst of all, "pc is offline" problem, you might want to try doing a fresh windows installation and Geforce Experience.

I only came across this coincidentally, due to a BIOS update which killed my RAID drives. So I had to do a fresh Windows 8 installation and Geforce Experience, and found that I no longer had issues with GameStream.

Also, make sure to login into Geforce Experience with a Nvidia account instead of using google account. Same thing on the SATV. Read in Geforce forum that using google account to login causes detection of PC problems.

Hope this helps.

I just ordered last week without the promotion. Going to talk to amazon asking for rebate.

I would advise u to order using USD as currency as amazon exchange rate is higher than bank

Decided to pull the trigger ordered the bundle ar US224.9

Tried to order the bundle too but funny leh... the remote no free shipping to sgp. It seemed buying separately also got discount as long as in the same order. That way, the remote can ship to an US address for free and then find a cheap cheap forwarder to ship back sgp... need to find out further if this method is cheaper than amazon's international shipping.... hmmm...

It seemed according to the Nvidia forum, local media decoding of DTS-HDMA and Dolby TrueHD has been ruled out by Nvidia. They'll only include passthrough capability in future firmware update. What a bummer... Oh well, better than nothing...

I've used my 16gb version with ext hard drive, no issues. If you're really into android games, then you should get the pro version, coz I could only install 2 big games at a go (doom 3 and portal) and 5-7 small games.

I uninstalled the bigger games in the end coz I have ps4 which does a better job for AAA games. The small games (100-300mb) are more for kids age 3-7.

Some games'data cannot be moved to sd card.

By the way, app data can only be moved to sd card and not to external usb drive.
